Product details
Overview
VIPER06LS from STMicroelectronics is a high-voltage offline PWM controller with integrated 800 V avalanche-rugged power MOSFET, designed for flyback and buck converters in low-power AC/DC applications. It operates at 60 kHz fixed frequency with jittering, delivers up to 5 W in open-frame designs, supports direct mains-derived self-biasing (no auxiliary winding), and achieves <30 mW standby power at 265 VAC.
For engineers reviewing the VIPER06LS datasheet, VIPER06LS pinout, VIPER06LS application, or VIPER06LS equivalent, this page provides verified technical context on its current-mode control architecture, adjustable overcurrent limit via LIM pin, burst-mode operation for energy compliance, and thermal/auto-restart protection behavior under fault conditions.
Technical Context
The VIPER06LS implements a current-mode PWM controller with cycle-by-cycle drain current sensing via internal SenseFET, enabling precise peak-current limiting and stable loop control. Its oscillator is fixed at 60 kHz (±4 kHz modulation depth at 230 Hz) to reduce EMI without external components.
It integrates an on-chip high-voltage current generator that powers the VDD capacitor during startup and off-time, eliminating need for auxiliary winding. Protection includes hysteretic thermal shutdown (150–160 °C), safe auto-restart after overload (tRESTART = 1 s), and open-loop failure detection when powered from auxiliary winding.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching frequency | 60 kHz ±4 kHz (jittered); reduces EMI filter cost and simplifies compliance with CISPR-22 Class B. |
| Drain voltage rating | 800 V avalanche rugged; enables direct connection to 265 VAC rectified input without external snubber. |
| Standby power | <30 mW at 265 VAC; meets EU CoC Tier 2 and DOE Level VI energy efficiency requirements. |
| Current limit adjust | Set via external resistor on LIM pin; default IDlim = 0.35 A (typ), reduced to 85 mA in burst mode to suppress audible noise. |
| Thermal protection | Hysteretic shutdown at 150–160 °C with 30 °C hysteresis; prevents thermal runaway during sustained overload. |
| Soft-start time | 8.5 ms fixed; limits inrush current and avoids transformer saturation during power-up or fault recovery. |
| Burst mode threshold | VCOMP drops below 1.1 V (typ); triggers ultra-low-power cycling to maintain regulation at light loads. |
Pinout & Package
The VIPER06LS is available in SSO10 package (10-pin shrink small outline) with exposed metal pad for thermal dissipation. DRAIN pins (6–10) are internally connected and must be soldered to large copper area for effective heat transfer.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Controller ground reference | Source node for internal MOSFET and error amplifier; must be low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| VDD (Pin 2) | Control section supply | Charged by internal HV current generator; clamped at 23.5 V; powers all logic and gate driver circuits. |
| LIM (Pin 3) | Adjustable current limit set point | Sinks current to GND via RLIM; sets peak drain current from 0.35 A down to ~0.1 A; open = default limit. |
| FB (Pin 4) | Inverting input of transconductance error amplifier | Accepts feedback voltage; reference = 3.3 V; single-resistor connection suffices for 3.3 V output; divider needed for higher voltages. |
| COMP (Pin 5) | Error amplifier output & PWM comparator input | Drives RC compensation network; optocoupler interface point in isolated designs; 1–3 V dynamic range defines burst/on thresholds. |
| DRAIN (Pins 6–10) | High-voltage MOSFET drain terminals | Internally paralleled; carry full switching current; connected to metal frame for thermal conduction; require ≥100 mm² Cu pour. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No auxiliary winding required | Integrated HV current generator powers VDD directly from DRAIN, reducing BOM count and PCB space in <5 W adapters. |
| Adjustable overcurrent protection | RLIM resistor scales peak drain current from 0.35 A down to ~0.1 A, enabling design flexibility across load ranges and safety margins. |
| Burst-mode operation | Reduces average switching frequency to hundreds of Hz at light load, cutting core loss, conduction loss, and audible noise simultaneously. |
| Safe auto-restart after fault | 1 s fixed restart delay with soft-start reinitialization prevents thermal accumulation during repeated short-circuit events. |
| Open-loop failure protection | Detects FB disconnection or optocoupler failure in isolated supplies, clamping VDD and limiting power delivery to prevent overvoltage. |
Applications
| Smart Home Power Adapters | Energy Meter Auxiliary Supplies |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar offline PWM controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ICE2QS03G | Fixed 65 kHz frequency, no jittering; requires auxiliary winding; 650 V MOSFET; no burst mode. | Lacks direct mains biasing and ultra-low standby capability; suitable only where auxiliary winding is already present. | Choose only if existing design uses auxiliary bias and EMI filtering budget permits higher peak harmonics. |
| LNK306P | 725 V MOSFET; 66 kHz; integrated X-capacitor discharge; no adjustable current limit; different pinout. | Includes automatic X-cap discharge for safety compliance but lacks LIM pin adjustability and soft-start timing control. | Select when UL/IEC 62368-1 X-cap discharge is mandatory and design tolerates fixed 0.39 A current limit. |
Compared with ICE2QS03G and LNK306P, VIPER06LS offers unique combination of 800 V ruggedness, no-auxiliary-winding operation, user-adjustable current limit, and burst-mode noise suppression-making it optimal for compact, ultra-efficient, and cost-sensitive consumer power supplies.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the LIM pin on VIPER06LS?
The LIM pin allows adjustment of the peak drain current limit by connecting an external resistor to GND. With RLIM = open, the default limit is 0.35 A (typ). Reducing RLIM lowers IDlim linearly down to ~0.1 A, enabling fine-tuned overcurrent protection for specific transformer and output requirements without changing the IC.
Can VIPER06LS operate without an auxiliary winding?
Yes-VIPER06LS integrates a high-voltage current generator that draws power directly from the DRAIN pins during startup and MOSFET off-time. This eliminates the need for an auxiliary winding in most ≤5 W applications, simplifying transformer design and reducing component count while maintaining regulation accuracy.
How does burst mode reduce audible noise?
In burst mode, VIPER06LS halts switching entirely when load falls below threshold, then resumes with soft-start for short bursts. The peak drain current is reduced to 85 mA during these bursts, lowering mechanical vibration in transformers and minimizing magnetostrictive hum-critical for quiet indoor environments like bedrooms and offices.
What happens during open-loop failure in an isolated flyback using VIPER06LS?
When FB is disconnected or optocoupler fails in an isolated design, VIPER06LS detects loss of feedback and enters open-loop protection: VDD is clamped at 23.5 V, power delivery is limited, and output voltage rise is constrained. This prevents dangerous overvoltage on secondary side-ensuring compliance with IEC 62368-1 safety requirements.
